Tho minister went up stairs and round him wrapped in rather a coarse brown claok, with his drogman dressed m a similar manner. Thero were half a dozen sen nuts standing at the door, and this was tho only ap pearance of state that I witnessed. Attor r,sing and shaking hands, be asked the minister to be seated; pipes,eoflfeoandshorbet were introduced they talked about the storm and other matters, w hen the minister mentioned to him the presents were iu tho bags, aud had hotter be looked to. We assisted iu getting them out, and after he had done so, he examined with great admiration, tho presents for the Sultan, consisting of a snuff box, costing about $0000, and n f in which tho minis ter paid about .‘J.’iOOO for. lie wtis greatly struck with their richness, and I have .the strangest rea sons for believing that from a republican agent the head of the Ottoman empire has received the most magnificent, and most valuable present of tho kind which uow is or ever has been iu bis possession. It had been previously asked what tho minister proposed givingthem, &they "ere in formed a magnilicient snuffbox worth about $d.)UU They doubted the existence of such a thing, but wore now convinced of the reality _ I he minis ter subsequently determined on adding the fan, of all fansiu tile world perhaps tho most costly and most niagnificicnt. The hnndle is ol white agato: at the end of a largo and beautiful emerald; below the grasp a hoop of diamonds ; above tho grasp nf ihe agato spreads in the form of *iie fan; and on both sides it is almost encrusted vvith large and the finest of daimonds arranged in beautiful devices. Among them a basket of flowers, n bow and a quiver of arrows, nro the principal. Tho feathers of the fan are those of tho heron, ami of two thicknesses. It is an orunmeut better suited to the crown of a Sultan, than the hand of a slave. Mr. Eckford, who saw it beforo delivery, exclaimed that its brilliancy eclipsed that of the noonday sun. Tho top of tho snuffbox was so completely and artfully encrusted with daimonds. as to look like one largo and splendid diamond. The euamel on the sides and bottom was of such beauty as no description can convey an idea of. All agreed that it was more to be admired than the diamonds which covered the top. Tho other presents which consisted chiefly of diamond ornamented snuff boxes, tvcre of valuo proportioned to tho rank of those who were te receive them. near approach to a star, afford a convenient nu - tbod by which to determine its position- II ! should happen to p == directly over the star, its place is not ouly fixed with great precision but the occurrence is important in another respect. It often serves to make kuowu something ol the physical constitution of the Comet.

The letter says that four or five hundred staugera gradually, and seemingly with out concert, appeared in Nashville, imt that the influx was so great as to excite suspicions, aud eveutually, public opinion settled down into the belief that they were confederates of that arch fiend Murrel. which suspicion was sunn confirm e<l by au unsuccessful attempt at his liberation. ’I he letter states that about four hundred were arrested & undergoing tual for their participation in the matter, anil that a number had already beeu sentenced for various periods to tho pou iten- tiary.

THE EXCITE M ENT AT NEW O R LEANS. We have New Orleans papers to the 8th inst., from which we arc happy to learn that the fer meat which existed there on the 5th aud 6th, in cousequence of an attack upon a military corps called the Legion, by the Louisiana Advertiser, hud passed away without any serious distur- _ bailee.

After an interval of ten or twelve days, tho light of tho Moon being sufficiently withdrawn. I sought the Comot|again yesterday morning be tween 2 aud 3 o'clock. I found it readily and without difficulty near Kappa Anrigae, a star of the fourth magnitude on a lino joining Pollux and 'the upper horn of tho Bull or Beta Tauri, at about one third of the distance from tho latter. The same lino passes through tho Pleiades. I saw^it with a telescope cf 2 feet in length, hav ing an object glass of 2j iuclies diameter and magnifying about 12 times; I saw it also, al though less plainly, with a tcrieslrial telescope of'i£ feet, having five glasses and magnifying-10 times. I presume it may now bo sceu with a good seaman's gla^s called a day glass. It t* • great mistake to suppose that it requires R largo magnifying power to see such an object. Tho chief requisite is light with only a slight enlarge ment, and the advantage of a large telescope o- ver a tmaU'oaoisin the greater quantity of light. The body of tho Cornet now subtends an angle four or five times as great as the planet Jupiter, anil it is invisible to liie naked eye not so much on acccount of its smallness 33 the feebleness of its light. The appcaranco of the Comet answer* very well to lb* description that has already been^giv en. It was extremely like tho faint diflnsed light of a star seen through a thick mist. Such a iiusi happened to present itself after I had been engaged about an hour, and put an end to my observations for this night, i could distinguish nothing like a nucleus, although tho light was evidently stronger towards tho centre aud be came fainter and fainter till it gradually vanished in an ill defined and apparently circular outlino Thero does not --eem to bo any tendency as yot to prolong itself in tho direction opposite to the Cur. Tho different paths assigned to the Comet by the several calculators nearly coincide for tunic extent ia tho part of the Heavens where it uotv is, and its course as hitherto observed, agrees ve ry u*ai with these combined results. But it ia Li ter oy S*or 7 day* iu arriving a! its present p<»»: lion than th* thus assigned in the Ephemnris contained in the supplement to tho Nautical Al manac for 1833. It may be expected to justify the assumption in which Poutoccoulsiut was led to revise his calculations, fixing tho time of pass suffered in no small degree from some auitnad versions of ihe most widely circulated papeis in this state. Indeed such d.re<’,s of horror commit ted in a virtuous and intoifigent community, could not'be believed on the authority of one, almost entirely unknown *o the public at this time. It is probable, Virgil A Stewart was not known to tiveoiry persons out of his ow n immediate dis trict, at the time he detected aud apprehended .Murrell tbeicforc, we cannot be surprised if his account of the Western land pirate was consid ered a mere catch-penny affair. In fact, tho dis closures were so abhorent to every principle of humanity, that nu good citizen could for a mo ment, indulge the idea that such a monster exist ed among us. But such is tho fact, a* Parson Henning's negroes bought at this placo aud re covered by young Henumg, through a legal pro cess instituted by Ralph Cushman, Esq. Those other negroes, stolen or decoyed from the planta tion of Dr. Williams in tho idtale ol Mississippi, aud sold in this neighborhood, have been claimed and arc now iu the custody of the .Sheriff under an order of sequestration—Ralph Cushman attor ney for plaintiff! It appears those negroes were decoyed from their masters by protended horso traders and gamblers, who promised to convey the runaways to Texas after selitug them seveial times, to defray tho necessary expenses wbich were represented to be very considerable. The declarations of those poor deluded victims, con firmed Stewart a statements respecting tho means and a-guments used to allure them from the a- bnde of their masters. Ifwecreditlheiraccouuts. wo can form no conception of the dangeiousper sons among us. They generally travel alone to avoid suspicion, and take every opportunity to spenk kindly to thvslaves, and represent their ib- uatiou in a manner tvollcalctilaird to render them unnappy and dtsuDeairOt to'heir masters. They appeal to the worst passions of the human heart, to oxcite a spirit ofrcvor.ge. They draw a sink ing contrast between the happy state of the mas ter, and tho servilo condition of tho slave, and with the pathos of dantling hypocrites call upon tho slaves to free iliemselvcs from the bonds of servitude Thoso murderous villians follow ono another in their routes, in order to prepare the way of revolt, or conduct plans for the runaways, and to induco a belief that their number is for midable enough to affect a perfect liberation by resorting to arms. Parson Hcuniiig's negroes iuatiun, iu order that additional testimony may be obtained.-—True .American. Eight individuals wero taken up night before last, who heloug, it appears, to the gang of riot ers.

A platoon of one of the companies being uear at hand, the whole gang was tak'-n up and lodged in jail, where they a wait their investigation.-—lb. New Orleans, Sept. 8, 11 o’clock. P. M. The late disturbances in this city, occasioned by a riotous harangue—and the incendiary ar ticle concerning the conduct of the Legion in one of our papers-—have been quelled. The ci ty is ’•emarkably healthy from the refreshing showers that almost daily visit it. Business is dull----but there it a bright prospect before us citcmcnt, to consummate a measure winch breathes defiance to public sentiment. atiu which seems in fact to be a special 'fort to feed flames already flashing around the edifice of our Freedom. O who can comprehend the folly ol that headlong zeal wbich leads men thus to trifle with their country’s pence!—nay. even with its existence as a united aud integral community. It is evident that a mighty effort is to be made, a death-struggle, Heaven grant it may be —to rally the scattered forces of Abolitionism and nerve them tip !o deeds of desperate daring. Our own iStato, it seems, baa been_pitched up on as the theatre of this grand experiment- \i e know not what may bo the issue; hut tve do know, that men v ho in a time like this, in spite of warnings, and entreaties, needlessly, uselessly, try experiments upon tho extent of human endu rance, and tho strength o f the bonds which bind society together,-—who coolly apply tho ham mer to tho most splendid mirror which ever re flected the light of day, that they may practical ly test its power of icsistance,—deserve to bo ranked no lougcr as good citizens, hut as ene mies to their country. Hitherto tve have had the charity to believe that most of those engaged in the Abolition crusade, althoitth sadly crrii g in their movements ami measures, were actuated l>y good motives ; but wo candidly confess that it «t- mid all the circumstances of warning, and all the indications of Provideuco, which have been re cently developed, they still go in their mad ca reer, reckless of consequences, the mantle of our charity will uot be largo enough to cover their silts—-against tho peace and order of society,—- against their brethren of tho South,——and <i- gaiusl the poor slave, w hose condition they have reudered almost hopelcss-Jonr.

OWASCO, SEPT. 10, 1835. Iv Dear Sir.— our letter of the 22d nit. met mo at this place, ou my return from the Falls, and I lose no time iu replying to that part of it which relates to the continued attempts to prejudice try friends, as well as myself, iu tho estimation of tiie South in respect to the Slave Question. Iris deeply to bo regretted that there should be found, ou tho part of any, inducements sufficient ly strong to iucrease an excitement, already so a- larining. by a resort to imputations, in the truth of which no ingenuous mind can place the slight est coufideuce. The allegations which attribute to mo views and opinions that are so justly ob noxious to the slavo holding States, are made in ibo faco of tho most oxplicit declarations on my part, denying all authority on the part of the Federal Government to interfere in the in a titer— against the propriety of agitatiug the question in the District of Columbia, aud iutho abscuccof a single fact, giving tho least countenance to the unfounded imputations. I should probably re quite the candor with which I have hitherto been ser ' t r ' treated by tho great mass of my fellow citizens of tho South, were I to allow inyself to appre hend that those who would otherwise be disposed to givo mojtheir confidence, could, under such circumstances, suffer me to bo prejudiced in their opinion, by the unsupported assertions of my euemics, however reckless or vehemently persisted in. Wero these fabrications, therefoie, designed :o affect me only, 1 should not hesitate to leave tho matter as it stands, to the spontane ous action of my countrymen. But when it is in tended to reach, in this way, those who honor me with their friendship, I do^ not feel inyself at lib erty to withhold any correction that in ay, by possibility, bo useful to them. With this view I scud you the enclosed proceedings of tho citizens of Albany upou the subject, ana authorize you to say, that I concur fully iu the sentiments they ad vance. I was absent from the city at the time the meeting was held, but took an early occasion to advise its call, aud toeucourage the attempt to make it, what it has beeu, a meeting of tho peo ple, without reference to their sentiments ou any other subject than that which was discussed be fore It. Connected wnti its ]>i*o«oodiiig^ are to he found tho names of our principal State offi cers, Executive and Judicial, including the Gov ernor of our State, with an array of private citi zens which, for personal worth and weight of character, has never, to my knowledge, been ex celled at any previous meeting. It would be presumption in me to add auy as surances of my own, as to tho sincerity with which the sentiments thoy express ato entertain ed, or of their disposition to ntak s them effectual upou the important subject to which they re late. May we not, then, hope that the proofs of an affectionate and just spirit towards the rights and interests of tho South, which bare been brought out by this hitherto threatening excitement, will have tho effect, in future, to remove all unfound ed impressions, and to put an end to every feel ing and prejudice inconsistent with the principles upou which the Union was founded ?
